Horny Owls, Beaver Surprise

One quick trip out to Brazos Bend is all that’s needed to grease the skids for a weekend of birding.  After school, I cooked an early dinner, packed up a picnic basket, loaded the birding paraphernalia, and waited for the kids to get off the bus.  We skipped homework — YEAH!! — and headed south for a nature hike at dusk.
